So sorry to hear of Uncle Russ’ death. Although I have not seen him for a while I will never forget his amazing sense of humor. All 10 sisters and brothers with their husbands and wives are in heaven having the best reunion ever. RIP Snooky,
Milton, Harry, Ray, Russ, Gladys, Verna, Ellie, Maralyn and Dawn, you were a fun loving family and I will never forget you.

I’m so sorry to hear this Russ was one of the best men I’ve known and will ever know. He was a true hero and acted as such. He always gave it to you straight and told you like it was. You could always count on him for a great story and could remember everything!! He raised a beautiful family and his memory will live on with them and all who loved him. Rest easy Russ you will be sorely missed. ~ Boo ~

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Uncle Russ watch out for the green van. Only one more passenger to pick up and you might be riding forever lol. Miss and love you always. You made Novie a fun place to be .

I am so sorry to hear this. I always enjoyed being around Russ. He could always make you laugh and had a great smile! My only regret is that I didn’t get to spend more time with him and get to know him better. All of you in the family are in my thoughts. We love all of you!
